BAND DESCRIPTORS FOR SUMMARY Marks PARAPHASE Marks Use of English

Candidates make a sustained attempt to rephrase the text language. Their expression is secure. Allow phrases from the text which are difficult to substitute

Apart from very occasional slips, the language is accurate. Any occasional errors are either slips or minor errors. Sentence structure is varied and there is a marked ability to original complex syntax outside text structures. Punctuation is accurate and helpful to the reader. Spelling is secure across the full range of vocabulary used. The language is almost always accurate. Serious errors will be so isolated as to be almost unnoticeable. Sentences will show some variation including original complex syntax outside text structures. Punctuation is accurate and generally Helpful. Spelling is nearly always secure. The language is fairly accurate but simple sentences tend to dominate the writing. When candidates use more complex structures, serious errors may occur. Some major errors or verb form and tense will be seen but these will not impede understanding. Although linking words are used, these may not be very appropriate.

There is a noticeable attempt to re-phrase the text. The summary is free from stretches of concentrated lifting and the expression is generally sound.

Intelligent and selective lifting with recognizable but limited attempts to rephrase the text. Their expression may not always be secure but the attempts to substitutes will gain credit.

Wholesale copying of text material but not a complete transcript of the original. Attempts to substitutes own language will be limited to single word expression; irrelevant sections of the text will be more frequent at this and subsequent levels.

Meaning is not in doubt, but serious errors are becoming more frequent. Simple structures will be accurate, although this accuracy is not sustained for long. Simple punctuation will usually be correct, with occasional errors of sentence separation. Spelling is largely accurate, but mistakes will occur in handling more difficult words

1-0

More or less a transcript of the text Originality barely noticeable. There will also be random transcription of irrelevant sections of the text-

1-0

Distorted detail will destroy the sequence in places. Heavy frequency of serious errors, impeding the reading in many places. Fractured syntax is much more pronounced at this level, and punctuation falters. Errors of sentence separation are liable to be frequent.
